Sometimes I wonder at how powerful I would be if I could reliably get the executive function to ya know. Function. Then I get tired, coz that version of Wren is Non-Stop and moments away from burn out. Executive function training continues, but Potato Time has been scheduled to maintain balance.

I get to experience more unfiltered joy at just how many lil frog statue photos Alexas_Photos has apparently taken. This was never meant to be all lil frog statue photos but I keep stumbling over them and they keep making me smile and really, what could be better for #MondayMotivation?

Almost ready to do a little demo video of my board game prototype just waiting for the new dice to arrive. No its not just because shiny math rocks go click clack. They're plain d6s. Its just for visual clarity as to which dice belong to which player. Stop looking at me like that.

A new week means new opportunities to tell my friends and loved ones I love them. If I time it right then I can also laugh at them as they all cycle through surprise, suspicion, gratitude, and feigned nonchalance in 0.5 seconds. #MondayMotivation

I got to try this out at Pixel Expo end of last year and it was absolutely worth the time. The co-op mechanic was delightful and the atmosphere and tone of the setting just hit SO good.
‼️The Finch & Archie demo is now LIVE on Steam‼️
We're so excited to finally be able to share a slice of what we've been working on!
🔍 Play the demo now with the link below (and don't forget to wishlist - EA release is just around the corner 😉)

There are so many beautiful things to see outside. The work will be there when you get back so why not do it AFTER you've gone out and experienced the joy of finding a cool rock or watching a duckling recover from absolutely stacking it into a puddle? #MondayMotivation

I try to stay in the habit of turning off the light when I leave my home office for any length of time.
Today I didn't realise the sun had set while I was working and so stepped out flicking the light switch as I went, immediately plunging myself into pitch black.

I know. I KNOW that art and making stuff pretty is basically the last part of game design. Well. Not necessarily Last last, but near to it. but gosh does it feel lack luster to have nothing pretty going on when prototyping.
might need to go buy some reams of coloured paper just to pretend.

After job hunting for a year and surviving countless “behavior assessments,” I made a simulation horror game about them.
Guess which question is from a real test I took.
